In the fast-paced world of meme coins, where viral trends can turn digital frogs and dogs into million-dollar sensations, exchange listings often make or break a token's success. A recent tweet from crypto observer Neso (@neso) has sparked discussions about shifting dynamics in the meme coin ecosystem. Let's break down what was said and what it could mean for traders and creators alike.

Neso's tweet, posted on September 26, 2025, reads in Chinese: "看来币安已经彻底放弃了meme币板块的上新，Coinbase仍然保持着对meme币的观察和上架，近期上了Troll表现还算稳健。预计下一波meme币的浪潮，除了链上多半只能发生在Coinbase和Robinhood上了。"

Translating to English: "It seems Binance has completely given up on launching new meme coins. Coinbase is still observing and listing meme coins, recently listed Troll which has performed steadily. Expected that the next wave of meme coins, besides on-chain, will mostly happen on Coinbase and Robinhood."

This observation highlights a potential pivot in how major exchanges handle meme tokens—those fun, community-driven cryptocurrencies often inspired by internet memes like Pepe the Frog or Dogecoin.

Why Is Binance Stepping Back?

Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange by trading volume, has historically been a go-to platform for new meme coin listings. In early 2025, they added several, including a batch of four memecoins in March Binance ends first listing vote. However, recent months have seen a noticeable slowdown. No major meme coin listings have been announced since then, leading observers like Neso to speculate that Binance might be deprioritizing this volatile sector.

This shift could stem from regulatory pressures, market saturation, or a focus on more "serious" projects. Former Binance CEO CZ even called meme coins "a little weird" in late 2024, hinting at a more cautious approach Binance to Stop Listing Meme Coins?. For meme coin enthusiasts, this means fewer opportunities for quick pumps on Binance's massive liquidity pools.

Coinbase Keeps the Meme Flame Alive

On the flip side, Coinbase—known for its user-friendly interface and strong U.S. regulatory compliance—continues to dip its toes into meme waters. Just yesterday, on September 25, 2025, they listed TROLL, a Solana-based meme coin inspired by the classic Trollface meme. The token has held steady post-listing, with its price around $0.14 USD as of now TROLL Price on Coinbase.

This move led to a massive rally for TROLL, posting double-digit gains shortly after the announcement Coinbase Listing Leads To Massive Rally. Coinbase's selective approach—focusing on tokens with some community buzz but lower risk profiles—seems to be paying off, providing a more stable entry point for retail investors.

Robinhood: The Retail-Friendly Alternative

Robinhood, the stock and crypto trading app popular among younger users, is also positioned to capture the next meme coin wave. With its commission-free trading and easy mobile access, it's ideal for on-ramp newbies into crypto. While Robinhood hasn't been as aggressive with meme listings as Coinbase, its growing crypto offerings suggest it could fill the gap left by Binance.

A reply to Neso's tweet from @RMBWGG adds an interesting note: "Joe 符合这俩交易所的审美," meaning "Joe fits the aesthetics of these two exchanges." This likely refers to Joe Coin (JOE), a meme token that's been gaining traction in 2025 with surges like a 26% rise in June Joe Coin Leads Gains. JOE's clean, humorous branding might align well with Coinbase and Robinhood's preference for accessible, less edgy memes.

What Does This Mean for the Next Meme Coin Boom?

If Neso's prediction holds, future meme coin explosions might bypass Binance entirely, focusing instead on on-chain launches (like on Solana or Ethereum dexes) before graduating to Coinbase or Robinhood. This could lead to:

• More Regulatory-Friendly Memes: Exchanges like Coinbase prioritize compliance, so expect tokens with transparent teams and lower scam risks.
• Increased Retail Participation: Platforms like Robinhood make it easier for non-crypto natives to join in, potentially amplifying viral trends.
• Diversified Opportunities: Traders might need to monitor multiple exchanges, but this could spread out risks and rewards.
